CYUSB3015-BZXC

Application Specific Microcontrollers Overview

The CYUSB3015-BZXC is a configurable SuperSpeed USB peripheral controller from the EZ-USB SX3 family. It integrates a 32-bit ARM926EJ-S CPU operating at 200 MHz and 512 KB of embedded SRAM. The device supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) and USB 2.0 protocols with three physical endpoints. It features a General Configurable Interface supporting up to 100 MHz operation with 8-, 16-, 24-, or 32-bit data buses, compatible with Slave FIFO and parallel camera interfaces. Power domains include a 1.2 V core and independent I/O supplies ranging from 1.2 V to 3.3 V. The component is housed in a 121-ball BGA package.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the official datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and supported interface widths. The CYUSB3015 variant typically supports 16-bit general configurable interface configurations. Ensure that ordering documentation references the correct Infineon part number to maintain continuity with existing designs.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this model when a configurable SuperSpeed controller is required for custom FPGA or ASIC integration. The CYUSB3015 is distinct from the CYUSB3017, which is optimized for UVC/UAC applications. Verify that the system design accommodates the 121-ball BGA footprint and provides adequate thermal dissipation for the 200 MHz ARM core operation.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Part Context

The CYUSB3015 belongs to the EZ-USB SX3 family, designed as a configurable alternative to fixed-function controllers. It allows developers to define custom USB descriptors and interface behaviors via the configuration utility. This flexibility distinguishes it from the FX3 series, offering a balance between processing power and interface configurability for specialized data acquisition tasks.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

The CYUSB3016 serves as a functional substitute within the same family, primarily differing in support for 32-bit general configurable interface widths compared to the 16-bit width of the CYUSB3015. Pinouts remain identical, facilitating direct board-level replacement if the application does not require the full 32-bit bus width.

Application Specific Microcontrollers FAQ

What boot options are supported by the CYUSB3015?

The device supports booting from USB or SPI flash memory. Configuration is determined by the PMODE pins, allowing the chip to load firmware from an external SPI flash or download it over the USB interface upon reset.

How does the General Configurable Interface operate?

The interface functions as a configurable state machine supporting Slave FIFO and parallel video modes. It accommodates 8, 16, 24, or 32-bit data buses and can operate at frequencies up to 100 MHz, enabling high-speed data transfer to external peripherals like FPGAs or image sensors.

What is the power consumption in core power-down mode?

In core power-down mode (L4), the device consumes less than 60 µA with VBATT on and less than 20 µA with VBATT off. This mode turns off the core power while retaining other power domains individually.
